Although he was furious, he hadn't forgotten that the other party was stronger than him.
Therefore, a more cautious starting stance was chosen.
"Although I don't plan to fight back, you alone are still not enough."
Yato kindly offered a reminder.
"You guy...!"
The karate club president's forehead veins bulged, feeling that he had been provoked like never before. Even with his good temper, he could no longer hold back and launched an attack on Yato.
A straight punch came flying straight at him.
Yato acted as if he hadn't seen anything and made no attempt to dodge.
This is just a feint.
What you really need to deal with are kicks from below that target the inside of the knee.
There is no support on either side of the human knee, which means that applying impact force to the left or right will cause damage to the knee joint.
But this only applies to ordinary people.
Yato proactively raised his knee, using the tip of his knee to meet the sole of his opponent's foot.
Kick techniques are different from boxing. Although they are more powerful, the transmission of power takes longer and requires a higher degree of precision in execution. If this is not achieved, the power will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to prevent it in advance, the second best way is to avoid it, and the last best way is to defend against it.
The karate club president never expected Yato to do this.
A powerful force came from the soles of my feet, completely disrupting my balance.
The person was thrown off balance and crashed heavily to the ground, giving the impression that the rope had suddenly snapped halfway through a tug-of-war.
"President! Are you alright?"
Two of his usual assistants rushed over and helped him up.
"Go away."
The karate club president turned pale and refused to be helped by others.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Yato had become one of suspicion and uncertainty.
'It's one thing if my feint was seen through, but my kicking speed is something even the instructors at the Six Truths Gym praise highly. This guy actually reacted after I kicked, deflecting all my force with even greater speed. Even the instructors can't do that. Just who is this guy?'
At this moment, Yato tugged at his collar and said calmly, "I told you, you can't do it alone, so come at me all together. This isn't a formal competition, and there's no need to be fair when dealing with unfriendly guests. In fact... in my opinion, it's fairest for you all to come at me together."
"What exactly do you want? Are you trying to humiliate us and make a name for yourself by using us?"
The karate club president questioned him with a grim expression.
“Once you step out of this door, I won’t remember who you are at all.” With that, Yato suddenly changed the subject, narrowing his eyes, “But if you can’t satisfy me, then you can expect to be nailed to the pillar of shame by the News Department.”
"...!"
The karate club president took a deep breath.
"Otomo, Ikegami, Yasuda... come out!"
He called out the names of about ten people in one go.
They are all key members and substitutes for the karate club in competitions.
As for the others, they can't even beat the reserve players, so calling them out is pointless.
This isn't a street brawl where there's strength in numbers.
Martial arts emphasize having room to maneuver.
Different fighting styles are suitable for different situations.
Taking karate as an example, this number of people is just right, and it won't be held back by half-baked people.
"now it's right."
He saw a dozen or so men and women dressed in white training uniforms surrounding him.
Yato revealed a satisfied smile.
That's right, there's a women's division in karate too.
But the fact that the other party even invited girls was quite unexpected for Yato.
Most people wouldn't be able to bring themselves to do that.
"drink!"
They started fighting.
The attack was launched by two of the strongest students, who crossed paths from left to right.
The others didn't rush to go up; they patiently waited for their chance.
But this is actually a wrong choice.
If Wu Horio were also watching from the sidelines, and if the people surrounding Night Fight were a group of members of the Wu clan, then Wu Horio would definitely have told his clansmen to go all out from the start and try to defeat Night Fight in the shortest possible time.
One minute later.
"Is the president really okay?"
Off the court, Narushima Kou was extremely nervous.
Watching Yato dodge and fall amidst the enemy's attacks, he felt his blood pressure rising and wished he could rush over to help.
"Hey, why don't you think the club president fight back?"
Narushima Hikaru asked hesitantly.
His question was, of course, directed at Tianyu.
"Who knows? If you want to know, you can ask him yourself after the fight."
Tianyu's words were clearly just a perfunctory response.
Unfortunately, I didn't dare say anything to Hikaru Narushima.
"But, how strange..."
Tianyu whispered.
"What's so strange?"
"I couldn't help but ask," Narushima Hikaru asked.
"His movements are slowing down."
Tianyu said succinctly.
"What? The president's condition is declining?"
Hikaru Narushima was startled.
"No, I didn't say that, but what you said is true... An injured person has limited stamina, and it's inevitable that their condition will continue to decline if they don't fight back, but... this guy's amount of sweating is very abnormal."
Tenyu's tone was indifferent, her gaze fixed on Yato's figure, a hint of confusion appearing on her cold and beautiful face, as if she had discovered something she couldn't understand.
"How could he sweat this much in just over a minute? His stamina isn't that bad, and it doesn't look like an injury flare-up. If I had to say... it's more like excess body heat?"
Upon hearing her say that, Hikari Narushima also noticed that something was wrong with Yato's physical condition.
I'm sweating too much.
Yato's shirt was soaked through on the back.
The skin turned slightly red due to the intense fluctuations in blood and qi.
At this moment, Yato gave the impression that he was already at the limit of his physical strength.
The movements are indeed slowing down.
Hikari Narushima: I saw several of the opponent's attacks grazed past Yato's body, and some even passed right through him...
and many more!
Did I travel through time?
"What...what's going on?"
Hikaru Narushima stared wide-eyed.
At this moment, Yato seemed to have reached his limit and could no longer dodge, but the opponent's attack passed right through his body.
It was as if it had become a phantom without any physical form!
No...that's not right.
"It's not that it's slowed down, but rather reduced... The president's movements are reduced, thus omitting a large number of variations, making it appear slower, but the actual speed is much faster than at the beginning! Because he dodges attacks with minimal movements, the faster others move, the faster the president moves, so the attacks pass through his body...!"
Narushima Hikaru muttered to himself.
Tianyu, who was standing to the side, glanced at him with slight surprise.
Surprisingly, this seemingly dim-witted fool reacted quickly in this regard.
"But why? Just because the movements have been simplified, does that mean there's a huge loss of energy? That doesn't make sense, does it? Logically, reducing unnecessary movements should reduce energy consumption, but now it's the opposite."
Narushima Hikaru suddenly realized something, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
While everyone was awestruck by Yato's astonishing skill, there was an even more concerning issue: Yato's unusual state.
Chapter 52
'coming. ’
Feeling my body gradually warming up, it felt as if every cell in my body was slowly coming back to life, and the pain caused by the muscle and bone injury was also soothed.
Unlike Narushima Koga's worries and Ameha's confusion, Yato was in an extremely cheerful mood.
"The Conqueror talent requires entering combat to trigger. Generally speaking, the effect of 'Regeneration' can only be seen in the later stages of a prolonged battle."
“Back then, during my fight with Go Horio, my injuries were so severe that a normal person would have collapsed and lost consciousness halfway through. But I was able to leave the scene and ask Himuro for help. That ‘regenerative power’ is far more exaggerated than my current random ‘toughness’ recovery ability.”
“Normally, even if I find a place to lie down now, my injuries won’t heal by tomorrow, but it’s different with ‘regeneration’.”
That's right.
This is the main reason why Yato came to challenge the karate club.
He will utilize the powerful regenerative abilities that come with the 'Conqueror' talent to receive full healing during battle!
But let’s talk about it.
The conditions are still quite stringent.
First of all, when the difference in strength is too great, it can no longer be called a battle.
For example, his fight with the president of the karate club.
For Yato, it was just one-sided bullying.
The Conqueror's effect cannot be triggered.
However, when the number of people increases, pressure arises.
The entire karate community might think that he wasn't fighting back because he was deliberately trying to humiliate and anger them, but that wasn't actually the case. Yato was simply trying to maintain the 'pressure' and prolong the fight as much as possible.
For him, the longer the battle lasted, the better the healing effect.
Also.
Yato also needs to ensure that he doesn't get injured or worsen any existing injuries.
The karate club members' skill level was just right.
He wasn't particularly weak, but he wasn't strong enough to cause him injury either.
Thus.
The seemingly illogical solution of 'healing through combat' can then become a reality!
"At most one hour. At this rate, excluding the necessary physical exertion, the injury will be fully healed in another hour, and without leaving any hidden dangers."
